Saw this on a Facebook group and haven't seen it cross posted here. Grad courses with three different bundles:

1. Leadership and Training
2. Safety and Emergency Preparedness
3. Instructional Design


Maybe this helps someone out!

Hello everyone,

I applied for admission into the BABA PM & IS program a few weeks ago. When filling the application form, I mentioned that I attended college in the US 15 years ago, but I had to withdraw due to medical reasons and only finished 5 courses. I was then asked to provide the necessary documents, which I did including a high school transcript evaluation since I'm an international student, an English proficiency test and a Credly transcript showing more than 90 transferable credits gained from sophia and coursera. I was also asked to send an official transcript from the university I attended, but when I tried to do that, I discovered that I have a financial hold for an amount of money that is impossible for me to pay off anytime soon. I then emailed the admissions team at UMPI and told them about my situation, but they still insist that I provide that transcript even though I have provided all the other documents and a resume showing an extensive professional experience and now they won't even respond to my messages. I have also contacted Jessica Winslow who refered me to the director of yourpace admissions. He answered once repeating the same thing and no response from him again.
I am very worried since this is my last chance in getting a bachelor's degree soon that will allow me to start a master's program next fall. Please if anyone knows how I can resolve this situation, I'm all ears.

Thank you!

Walden hasn't changed their pricing much for the Tempo Learning CBE option, fees are in USD as they're an US University.  It's currently at $3K/3 months, $175 fee, so that's just $3,175 a session and if you need 6 months, that's 6K plus fees...  

Here's the fees webpage, they're bumping it up to $3100/3 months and 180 fees March 2025: https://www.waldenu.edu/online-masters-p...ology#fees 

This is just one example, I would guess they're changing the pricing for other Bachelors/Masters programs that are also on the Tempo Learning system.  You may want to see which degree you're looking at, the example above is for the MS Psychology degree.

If you have a bachelor's in Biology, Chemistry, or Math, are already eligible to live and work in the U.S., are not yet a certified teacher, but are interested in transitioning to teaching in a rural high-need school district, you might qualify for a free MAT (online with in-person practical work), and a multi-year stipend to supplement your income, from Concord University's STEM Fellowship Program.

Hello everyone,
I hope to enroll for a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts degree from Excelsior university. Anyone in this group who has done the degree can advice me on the expected costs of the degree after transferring credits from some of the courses I have done in Sophia. Thank you.

I'm currently doing my MS in Organizational Leadership at Johns Hopkins. I have two semesters left to go and will graduate in August of next year. Right now I have a 3.8 GPA. I'd like to pursue a PhD (or possibly a DBA - I put one on this list). I'm doing it for personal reasons and because I have some genuine research interests that I'd like to pursue. I'd also enjoy doing some part time teaching (online) and maybe move to full time (non-tenure track) when I retire. (My dad had a PhD, worked in industry for 37 years, and then spent the last 17 years of his life at a large state school). My research interests are more on the Leadership side of things, but they are still very related to business, so could work with a PhD in Bus Admin as well.

Here are the programs I've narrowed it down to:

Gonzaga, PhD in Leadership.
https://www.gonzaga.edu/school-of-leadership-studies/academics/ph-d-leadership-studies
The main negative about this one is the really high cost. I could do it, but the other ones are half as much or less. School is more well known than others on the list, which is a plus.

Indiana Tech, PhD in Global Leadership
https://phd.indianatech.edu/program/

University of Southern Maine, PhD in Leadership
https://usm.maine.edu/academics/academic_programs/leadership-phd/
I'm kind of leaning towards this one.

Tiffin University, PhD in Global Leadership and Change
https://go.tiffin.edu/doctorate-programs/ph-d-in-global-leadership-and-change/

UNC Greensboro, PhD in Business Administration
https://www.uncg.edu/degrees/business-administration-ph-d/
Maybe a more useful degree than leadership? However, it takes 5 years to complete.

Touro University Worldwide, Doctor of Business Administration
https://www.tuw.edu/academics/business/doctor-of-business-administration/
I put this on here because it only takes 1.5-2 years to complete. Requires a research project instead of a dissertation. Probably a big negative for academia. School is Jewish-aligned which appeals to me as a Jewish person.

I should also add that I have over 25 years of experience in the software industry (non-technical) leading teams, so tons of real-world experience in leadership and business in general (currently at the VP level).

Hi all I am taking Human Resources management to fulfill my requirement for my bsba. I was seeing if anyone had any experience taking an epack or HRM. I am intimidated by the final test but also excited to take my crack at passing it. Does anyone have any advice ?

Greetings,

I wanted to share a few interactions and conversations I've had recently with Texila American University, BAC, and both of the Medical School accreditors for TAU.

1. TAU has just received British Accreditation Council [BAC accreditation] effective 31 October 2024, for 4 years. 
2. When I spoke with all three accreditors:

• 
  
  • British Accreditation Council (BAC)
    
    
  • Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP)
    
    
  • Accreditation Commission on Colleges and Universities (ACCM)
    

• Instead of taking 3.5 years to completion, I will have a 2-year program [January 2025 - January 2027] with the possibility to finish 3-6 months earlier, depending on the speed at which I complete my Dissertation. 
  
• The entire tuition is $7,600 [for the whole program]. Due to my DHA transfer credits, Veterans Scholarship [$1000], and Referral Credit [$550], my tuition will be discounted down to $6,050.00. They have a 2-year payment plan that allows you to pay over time. 
  
  

Sigh. I've searched the Internet (and these forums) up and down until I've gone cross-eyed. At this point, I think I'm suffering from information overload, and I haven't really found what I'm looking for. 

I am seeking a doctorate program (I don't care what it's in or what kind of "D" it is) for personal satisfaction reasons. I am not trying to do anything specific with the degree, though I do require that it's regionally accredited (and that the accreditation is not under warning, if so).

I'm looking for a program that matches the following criteria:

1. 100% online
   
2. Regionally accredited 
   
3. Rolling admissions
   
4. USA-based university, no colleges
   
5. Has a highly flexible transfer credit policy to lower the cost and time of the program
   
6. Extremely affordable, though, if they allow a lot of transfer credits, this can vary
   

• M.Ed. Instructional Design and Technology - American College of Education
  
• M.Ed. Adult Education and Training - American College of Education
  
• MHRM: Organizational Performance - Colorado State University Global
  

Important update to this post: This offer now appears to be free only for Texas residents as determined per in-state tuition rules. Out-of-state students appear to be charged $1,000 for the two-course bundle. For the most recent updates, see the most recent pages of this thread.
